My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

"One month, at most one month!"

Seeing that the editor-in-chief seemed to be relenting, Naoto quickly spoke to him.

Although a month is still a very short time for a straight person.

But it's good enough that we can give everyone a little breathing space right now. Even we, as straight people, know that shutting down this ranking list for an extended period is simply impossible.

Let's just wait and see.

After hearing Naoto's promise, the editor-in-chief then picked up the phone.

At this moment, Naoto noticed that after the call was connected, the editor-in-chief's expression became very respectful.

Clearly, the person on the other end must be a high-ranking official from Shueisha.

"Yes, yes, I understand. Let's do it that way then. Okay."

After making the call, the editor-in-chief looked visibly more relaxed; perhaps even he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

"That's it. One month is enough. If we can't do it, there's no other way."

"Thank you, editor-in-chief!"

Naoto was overjoyed to see that the editor-in-chief had actually agreed to the request.

He originally thought it would only take two more periods at most, but it actually took a whole month.

It's clear that even the top executives at Shueisha are starting to have a headache over this matter.

However, what Naoto is curious about is who exactly is the person opposite the editor-in-chief? To be able to make such a decision so easily, this kind of boldness and power is something that ordinary shareholders cannot do. It really makes one curious.

"Then, let's arrange the centralized training at the JUMP editorial office. This way, we can get timely feedback on everything, from work handover to anything else."

"By the way, editor-in-chief, I have a small request, I wonder if it's possible..."

"Just say what's on your mind."

The editor-in-chief has already accepted any further requests from the straight people.

No matter how big this request is, it can't be more outrageous than suspending JUMP's charts.

At this moment, Naoto quietly said a few words to the editor-in-chief, after which the editor-in-chief fell silent again.

The editor-in-chief looked at Naoto and suddenly felt a bit confused. How did this guy's brain work? How could he always come up with so many crazy ideas?

In the afternoon, not only the entire JUMP editorial office, but even the entire comic book industry was shaken.

When everyone heard that JUMP was going to shut down the popularity chart for a month, almost everyone was in an uproar.

Although JUMP's official statement is that its own statistical data has a fatal flaw and requires a period of rectification, it's clear to everyone that JUMP is going all out and launching a war against the other two comic book companies.

The extent of the tragedy was beyond anything anyone had anticipated.

It's important to know that even when the three companies were fighting fiercely in this timeline, JUMP never shut down its popularity rankings. The bottom-ranking elimination system is something that's only a few years older than JUMP itself.

JUMP actually resorted to such a tactic this time. It felt like they were a madman trying to drag a few people down with them before they died.

However, unlike the general public outside, the editorial staff and manga artists at JUMP were utterly astonished.

Especially after learning that Naoto had entered the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief immediately issued such an order, even requiring that space be specially made available for cartoonists to create. Anyone with a brain knows whose idea this was.

After realizing this, many editors and comic artists were filled with admiration for Naoto; they had never dared to even imagine such a thing before.

A straight person actually dared to go to the editor-in-chief? And they actually succeeded?! What else could this be but a miracle?

The most excited of all were the cartoonists whose works were about to be canceled.

Although there's only a month left, and even if it's still going to be serialized, at least it will allow me to finish my work more fully and avoid a rushed ending.

For these manga artists, Naoto was practically their savior.

Although Naoto himself didn't think so, after all, his original purpose was just to help everyone relax and prevent them from collapsing due to overwork.

How did he suddenly become the idol of all comic artists? That's ridiculous.

Now that Naoto knows about this, he feels like he's digging his toes out of his pocket.

Chapter 51: The Writers of JUMP

"My God, is it really that big?"

On the floor above the JUMP editorial office, Akito and Moritaka arrived at the training camp location together.

The spacious area in front of me was simply astonishing.

Compared to the art studio that his uncle left him, this place is like paradise.

To be fair, Uncle Gao's studio is definitely one of the more spacious ones among cartoonists' studios.

But without comparison, there is no harm. Compared to this place, I'm really embarrassed to say how big my studio is.

"Yo, Moritaka, Akito, you've arrived."

Just then, Naoto walked over from the side and greeted the two of them.

"Straight guy!"

Upon seeing Naoto arrive, the two were still filled with excitement. However, at this moment, they realized that, apart from Naoto, they were the first to arrive.

"Huh? Naoto-kun, are we the only ones here?"

"Yes, that's the current situation. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. There are some things the editors haven't prepared yet. We still need to replenish our excellent and professional drawing tools."

Upon hearing Naoto's words, Moritaka realized that many models of drawing tools needed for drawing comics were not yet fully prepared, and there were even a few seats that were empty.

It's clear that this sudden preparation was somewhat rushed.

"Yo yo yo! ONE-sensei, Ashirogi Muto-sensei, hello there!"

Just then, Eiji Niizuma, dressed in what looked like thermal underwear, walked in laughing, rapping in a hip-hop style.

Behind Eiji Niizuma, Editor Hattori looked at him with a headache.

I really don't know why other authors are so easy to manage, but my own author is like a lunatic all the time.

So, are all geniuses quirky? But why aren't Naotos like that?

"Eiji? You're here too?"

Upon seeing Eiji Niizuma approaching, Moritaka and Akito also greeted him.

Unlike when they first met, when Moritaka and Akito were the only ones dissatisfied, after spending some time together, both of them had come to admire Eiji Niizuma very much.

I also know that apart from being a bit crazy, this person is actually a pretty good person.

After getting to know each other, their relationship was quite good.

"Of course I have to come, after all, this is an event organized by ONE-sensei! Besides, I'm also quite dissatisfied with those authors."

(Is this person angry?)

(Probably.)

(So ​​this person can get angry?)

Seeing Eiji Niizuma's expression, although he didn't show any anger, the three of them could still feel his fury.

Indeed, as a proud manga artist, it's impossible for Eiji Niizuma not to be annoyed to be suppressed like this by a group of people.

It just goes to show that sometimes, an honest person getting angry is the scariest thing ever.

Just as the four of them started chatting and laughing, a large group of people suddenly appeared from the doorway. Among them were assistants who came to help, and some were manga artists who serialized their works in JUMP.

The four of them didn't know much about the people who came. Among them were a chubby young man in his twenties, a girl who looked like a high school student... well, a middle school student. And there were some who looked like delinquent teenagers.

Are these people really from the comic book industry?

“ONE-sensei, these are the manga artists and assistants who came to help.”

Just as Naoto was somewhat confused, editor Sasahara stepped forward and introduced the situation to him.

However, compared to Naoto's doubts about these people, these people were even more surprised.

Because the people in front of them, including Naoto and the others, are just too young.

(This is ONE? He's so young!)

(What?! A high school student? Ah, it seems like they did say ONE was a high school student, is it really true?)

(Wow! It's ONE-sensei! I actually met him in person!)

"Uh, hello everyone, my name is Naoto Yamashita, you can also call me by my pen name ONE, it's nice to meet you all."

"ONE-sensei, I've finally met you! My savior!!!"

Just as Naoto finished speaking and was about to see the group's reaction, suddenly, the fat man who looked to be in his twenties grabbed Naoto's hand and even started to cry.

"W-what's going on? Please get up, what's happening?"

Faced with this situation, Naoto was completely stunned. Good heavens, why is there such a big fuss right after we meet? I've never seen anything like this before.

"Teacher Yuankou, please calm down. I know you're very agitated, but please calm down!"

Seeing that the writer was practically begging to kneel before Naoto, editor Sasahara quickly ran over to help him up.

"I'm sorry, ONE-sensei, but Yuankou-sensei got a little excited. Please understand."

"Um, what exactly is going on?"

Faced with this situation, not only was Naoto a little confused, but everyone present was a bit bewildered.

"Ahem, sorry, ONE-sensei, I got a little excited. My name is Enguchi Bangichi, and I'm currently a serialized writer for JUMP. The name of my work is 'Miss Aji of the Daily.'"

"So you're Teacher Yuankou?"

Looking at the chubby young man in front of him, Naoto finally remembered who this person was.

It was originally ranked last on the JUMP charts, a clear case of being cut short.

If Naoto hadn't suddenly requested a temporary halt to the elimination system, this show would probably have had to end in the next season.

"It's all because of ONE-sensei, otherwise I really wouldn't have the confidence to continue drawing! Waaaaah."

“Teacher Yuankou has been under a lot of pressure lately. According to him, if his job is cut short this time, he will go back to his hometown to grow potatoes.”

"Ah this."
